Express Yourself

UPES encourages participation from the students in academic as well as personal growth initiatives. Students enthusiastically participate in activities such as festive celebrations, social work, cultural activities, sports, seminars, workshops, industry visits, and more. Students are encouraged to attend national as well as international conferences within the country and abroad. This helps students get an opportunity to meet eminent professionals from varied industries through conferences, workshops, co-curricular & extra-curricular activities, etc. These platforms build confidence in the students as they interact, question, answer, and absorb the useful knowledge. Some of the recent examples to this are student participation at world innovation forum, the world business forum screening of Bill Clinton's speech, visit to Mexico, etc.
